PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 344

Painting Dark Elves

August 2008·pp. 26–27

THE SHORT VERSION

Chris Peach demonstrates compact recipes for the main surfaces of a Dark Elf army. Washed metallic armour and pale flesh suit Warriors, while Corsairs receive purple lacquer, dark leather and a cloak with green scales over a warm hide. The steps use restrained mixes and successive edge highlights to keep the individual textures distinct. Shield illustrations offer heraldic inspiration tied to a commander, city or Black Ark.
